Muslim Women Under The Taliban Control
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Muslim women under the Taliban control have long suffered at the hands of their male counterparts. Whether the torture culminates as emotional, physical or both, the patriarchal influence has been a strong power upon the very essence of being female. The lives of Muslim women under the Taliban control have been designed by men under religious and social assumptions which have served to guide every part of their lives, including sexuality, mannerisms, physical appearance and education, along with their role in society. These designed programs serve not only to control the female gender, but also to block entrance for women in many areas so that they remain chained to the patriarchal influence. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Muslims And Domestic Violence
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Domestic violence is a gender-based abusive act prevalent in virtually all global communities; while the more developed societies have adopted a heightened awareness of the immoral nature of domestic violence and take significant steps to punish and deter it, other less developed societies continue to use it as a tool of control and coercion between men and their wives. Muslims have a particularly unsavory reputation for partaking in wife beating in order to manipulate the woman through physical and mental force via a subtext of social, political and economic undercurrents. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Nationalism And The Postcolonial State In Africa: Woman's Point Of View
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length.

This is the basis upon which contemporary African women's human rights groups glean their strength and continue to move forward in their quest for equitable gender treatment. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Non-English Speaking Background (NESB) Immigrant Women in the Australian Workforce
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper in which the writer provides an overview of the problem and research surrounding the issue of NESB. Critics have suggested that large populations of non-English speaking background (NESB) unemployed overburden the welfare and social security systems, and in their attempts to enter the workforce, also strain the country's remedial adult education programs. But in light of maintained immigration levels over the past decade, the path towards changing the negative perceptions of NESB immigrants within the workforce is imbedded not only in a system designed to enhance language skill development, but also to dispel the myths related to their lack of skills and their long-term impacts on the job market. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Post-Taliban Women's Rights And Government Implementation
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Despite the fact post-Taliban efforts have attempted to provide some semblance of women's rights in an era of expanding free speech and other civil liberties, those rights may exist in thought and limited application, but they are in constant struggle with the governmental forces that want to maintain a patriarchal ceiling on the extent to which women realize any significant departure from their traditional gender roles. Inasmuch as the barricade toward women's rights "remains deeply rooted in traditional Islamic culture" (Witte, 2005, p. A24), it stands to reason how the nearly seven short years since Taliban rule was overturned is hardly enough time to completely wipe out hundreds of years of gender oppression; as such, the government is not entirely keen on the idea of women's emancipation in virtually any way. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
